Post (foot) is questionable for Friday's game against Minnesota.

Post is in danger of missing a second straight game while dealing with a foot injury. The team figures to monitor him closely during shootaround and leading up to warmups before issuing another update on his availability for Friday.

Curry (back) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's meeting with the Timberwolves.

Curry skipped Tuesday's loss to the Bulls, with that game coming as the second in a back-to-back set, but he'll be available to play Friday. Curry is averaging 9.0 points and 1.3 triples per game this season.

Melton is questionable for Friday's game against Minnesota due to left adductor injury management.

Melton is in danger of missing a second straight contest with the issue. With Stephen Curry's (knee) void in the lineup already freeing up plenty of usage and playing time, Gary Payton, Will Richard and Pat Spencer would all see more involvement in the backcourt if Melton is unable to give it a go Friday.

Allen (knee) is out for Friday's game in Dallas.

Allen is set to sit out his fourth straight game Friday, and it's not encouraging that he continues to get ruled out 24 hours in advance of tipoff. Thomas Bryant and Jaylon Tyson will continue to pick up the slack in Allen's absence.

Kuminga (knee) is available for Thursday's game against Brooklyn, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Kuminga will return to the hardwood after missing three straight matchups due to a left knee bone bruise. He's appeared in only three games since Jan. 22 but is averaging an impressive 21.3 points per contest on 67.7 percent shooting from the field during that brief stretch.

Sharpe has been diagnosed with an ulnar collateral ligament tear in his left thumb and will require season-ending surgery, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

This is a tough blow for Sharpe, who was in the process of putting together one of the best campaigns of his young NBA career. He averaged 8.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals in 62 games. Both Danny Wolf and Josh Minott should be in the mix for backup center minutes with Sharpe sidelined.

Daniels is out for Thursday's game against the Nets due to left toe sprain, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Daniels is out of action for just the fourth time all year, and he can deemed day-to-day prior to Saturday's contest versus the Bucks. Zaccharie Risacher stands out as the most likely candidate to start at small forward in Daniels' stead, offering him a bump in streaming appeal in fantasy leagues.

Brooks has shed the cast on his surgically repaired left hand, but he's still not been cleared for contact work, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports.

Brooks is making steady progress in his recovery from a broken hand, and he's nearing the three-week mark of his initial 4-to-6 week timetable. In a best-case scenario, Brooks might be able to make it back to the court by March 24. Once he's cleared for contact, we'll know he's on the cusp of a return.

Bona, who has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Detroit, is being considered day-to-day after scans on his back came back clean, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Bona was sent for imaging after experiencing back soreness, but the results shows that he's managed to avoid a serious injury. The Sixers will presumably re-evaluate the big man again Friday to get a better idea of his availability for Saturday's clash against the Nets.

Toppin (foot) has been ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Suns, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Toppin will hit the sidelines for the first leg of this back-to-back set, but maybe he'll be able to get back out there for Friday's game against the Knicks. Toppin's absence should open up some minutes for Kobe Brown and Micah Potter.
